Online Desk  :  Thakurgaon district Jamaat-e-Islami Amir Belal Uddin, who was detained with Tk 50 lakh at Nilphamari’s Saidpur Airport, has been admitted to Saidpur Hospital after falling ill during questioning. He was taken to the hospital by ambulance from the airport on Wednesday. Earlier, he arrived in Saidpur by air at around 11:00 am.

District Superintendent of Police (SP) Sheikh Zahidul Islam said Belal Uddin was detained with approximately Tk 50 lakh in cash. “He later felt unwell during interrogation and was sent to the hospital,” the SP said, adding that further details would be disclosed later.

Speaking at a hurriedly arranged press conference at the party’s central office in Dhaka, Jamaat Assistant Secretary General and chief of its Central Publicity and Media Department, Ahsanul Mahboob Zubair, claimed the incident was politically motivated.

He alleged that the arrest of Thakurgaon Jamaat district Amir with Tk 50 lakh at Syedpur Airport was “a drama staged by law enforcement agencies” to malign the party ahead of the 13th national parliamentary elections.
